Series Editors’ Foreword

This is the fourth volume of the “Springer Series on Touch and Haptic Systems”, which is published in collaboration between Springer and the EuroHaptics Society. Immersive Multimodal Interactive Presence is focused on exploring how the haptic component increases multimodal human interactions. Three paradigms of human interaction are considered: a person manipulating a virtual object, two people directly interacting, and two people interacting by using a shared object. These studies were carried out under an Integrated Project called Immersence, which was funded by the 6th Framework Program of the European Union. These kinds of projects usually generate a lot of conference and journal papers and, normally, this knowledge is disseminated without the opportunity of compiling the information properly. The ed
